Yutong Qu

I am an emerging fashion designer with a background in womenswear design from my undergraduate studies. During my BA I honed my design skills and developed critical thinking, complemented by short-term internships at leading fashion companies. I was fortunate to participate in the design outfits for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony, which were showcased in the exhibition and received media coverage. This experience not only strengthened my sense of social responsibility but also enhanced my ability to balance design and production. While pursuing my Master's degree at NTU, I was honoured to receive the 2024 GREAT SCHOLARSHIP. In my graduation project, 'The Gaze of Others,' I continue to explore social issues, focusing on balancing societal expectations with personal standards of conduct. My aim is to inspire self-identity and emphasize individual independence. I hope to share my perspectives and connect with like-minded individuals to form collaborative partnerships.
